It's soon revealed that they plan to rob the gathered rich folk, whom they've poisoned (not exactly worthy of a twenty-years-in-the-making trick, in my opinion). These arcs collide as Iris attends a fundraiser for the mayor, at which both Tricksters are posing as waiters. Since Eddie is busy with the bomber, Iris takes her concerns to The Flash. Whether that last bit turns out to be an in-episode trick or just a funny Star Wars nod for fans, it's a fantastic moment either way.Įlsewhere, Iris is tasking Eddie with finding out what happened to the disappeared Mason Bridge. We soon find out that the original Trickster has been planning a massive trick these last twenty years, and that, apparently, he's the young Trickster's father. The worse news? Henry Allen is their hostage. Instead, The Trickster breaks his mentor out of Iron Heights. Wells' advice to ignore the obvious diversion goes unheeded. And while The Flash is speedily searching the city for the Trickster's bomb, Dr. "Cisco can just track him through his vlogs, right?" you ask? Well, Cisco already spoiled that one, saying the Trickster is employing some "Felicity-level" encryption. The Trickster soon informs them that he previously had a bomb squirreled away in his lair, one big enough to level the city. After finding the place cleaned out, they return to the prison (where Barry makes a pit stop to let his dad know he's got a lead in the murder case that landed him in jail). The OG is none too happy with the new kid on the block, but he's not willing to help the detective beyond telling them that the so-called Trickster must have found his old lair in order to pilfer his devices.īarry's speed comes in handy, not only to vibrate his way into opening a locked door at the Trickster's hideout, but also to get Joe to safety when a booby-trap bomb nearly takes them both out. (I can't ever seem to separate Hamill's voice - and laugh - from The Joker.) They fill him in on the existence of the new Trickster, who has been ripping off the villain's signature style and explosive compounds.
#THE TRICKSTER FLASH SERIES#
(As longtime fans of The Flash TV series know, Mark Hamill played the character on the 90s version opposite John Wesley Shipp.) Joe and Barry pay a visit to the original Trickster who's tucked away safe and sound in prison. The Flash saves a little boy from getting his fingers all firecracker'd, and we meet tonight's title villain: The Trickster, a masked megalomaniac who's fond of cruel pranks and selfies.
Meanwhile, 99 red balloons parachutes drop explosives on a busy park in Central City.
